Make It

COOK and stir bacon in large skillet on medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon from skillet with slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. Add onions to drippings in skillet; cook and stir 5 min. or until crisp-tender.

ADD chicken broth, water and macaroni to skillet; stir. Bring to boil; cover. Simmer on medium-low heat 10 min. or until macaroni is tender.

ADD vegetables and cream cheese; cook 2 to 3 min. or until cream cheese is completely melted and mixture is well blended and heated through, stirring frequently. Sprinkle with bacon and Parmesan.

This was very easy to make and went together very well. I used brocolli, mushrooms and peas for the veggies. I also added chicken. This recipe has definitely made it to the repeat list.

This is a great dish and easy to make. I was very surprised that the pasta cooked using this method, but it did. I will certainly make this again!

I really enjoyed this meal. It was easy to make and tasted very good. I was looking to use up 1/2 a block of low fat cream cheese as a main dish and this fit the bill. I used broccoli, peas, carrots, and red peppers as the veggies. I also used the little seashell pasta, and added minced garlic with the onion and black pepper at the end. I'll be making this again. =)

This recipe is missing stuff. What i mean is that it was not a good choice to do. I felt like it was missing directions. When i made this, the noodle didn't cook well and it just took too long. The cream cheese was hard to mix with all the ingredients. Maybe if you chose to do this use a bigger pot not a pan!

This is company-worthy. I used a 1-lb frozen bag of broccili, cauliflower, and carrot blend for the vegetables. I didn't even add extra spices although black pepper would be good. Not sure why the other reviewer said it was horrible. We loved it and it smells wonderful. It's a keeper.

I love almost all the Kraft recipies I have tried, but this was horrible! I couldn't even stand the smell. Never again.

I've made this recipe almost weekly - I've perfected it by adding frsh minced garlic, a whole package (8 oz) of Philadelphia 1/3 less fat cream cheese - always a family favorite, and you don't miss the meat!

I am always looking for something different, and I found it with this vegetable skillet dish. I doubled the amount of cream cheese and it was delicious. I added bite sized carrots, red bell peppers, zuccini, and broccoli to mine and actually cooked the dish covered for a little while longer so the veggies were not too raw. This is my new favorite dish. I promise you will just love it.
